Configure backuppc to run the local DB backup scripts and write the backup status on the remote host
100%
Description
BackupPC can be globally configured to run mysql/postgresql backups as a pre-step.
When the backuppc operations are finished, a post script will run on the remote host. In the /var/log/backuppc.log file the following information will be written:
BACKUP_TIMESTAMP=<Unix timestamp> DB_DUMP_RESULT=<OK/FAILED>
The log can be also used by nagios to verify that the remote backup is running correctly.

The second variable should better be something like
BACKUP_RESULT=<OK/"failure reason, if any">
Because it's related to the whole system backup and not the DB one.
The log can be also used by nagios to verify that the remote backup is running correctly.
